What is your favourite current colour?

[Nanqueen]

Hello again..... Our current gun metal blue has gone to have his roof done and we now have a Blackberry Kombi van sat outside... Intriguing colour. Looks different shades depending on the light, Metallic, very dark intense full bodied colour... deep purple / brown..... stands out well in the car park!

Blackberry for me

I've now ordered my Cali in Candy White after voting for Reflex Silver :doh .

Interesting poll.

 

[Kirk]

Toffee brown for me please

 

[Ricotansky]

If I was buying a new one I think I'd go for red or night blue. Voted for white though, cos that's what I've got and I like that too!

We've just ordered our first Cali SE. Really excited. Blackberry was the only choice for us.

hi,salsa red it will help to disguise the rust corrosion when it breaks through the front box section,mines reflex silver

Both toffee brown and Dark wood look good in the flesh

Looks lovely, Frederico; is that your Cali?

 

[fred]

that is indeed, Wookie, our cali. Here's a better pic of the colour, dark wood, which is kind of an aubergine brown with a purple metallic tinge to it in the light.

Sans nudge bar (it was at the powdercoaters) but with summer wheels (sportlines) on.

Any colour for me they all look great with a few personal touches ,what ever floats your boat

 

[LisaKent]

I wish we had bought blackberry, we ended up with safe and boring natutal grey A camper should be a fun colour like the old Type 2s?

 

[mark malaney]

Any colour looks great just put some personal touches

 

[motacyclist]

The dark colours, and white, look great when the van is clean but overall I prefer silver as it never gets to look dirty.

Ours is sand beige which looks dirty when it's clean!

That's why we went for the Salsa Red - washed and polished yesterday and looks gorgeous

Went for blackberry, looks great but a real pig to keep clean.

I posted on this thread before I had seen Ariadne, still not 100% confident about my colour choice, having never actually seen one! Now that she is here, I love the Toffee Brown colour and think it suits the Cali; as others have said, it's nice to have something a little different on a camper - although I have had my fair share of "really, you chose brown?" comments from friends! My hopes that it would disguise the dirt and mud were very quickly shattered though, as she wears the mud and grit as proudly as any other vehicle on the road!

I don't think I'll tire of black.

It look great when just cleaned and great when really filthy dirty (really shows the dirt to dramatic effect).

Just a bit so so when not at either extreme .

 

[GrannyJen]

I think that next time black would be the colour.

It would match my mood when the roof bellows get's caught in the scissors as it did this morning

 

[cpjb@btinternet.com]

Sorry to hear about that - i hope not too much damage.

It happened to me and put a small nick in the fabric. I'll wait for the roof fix to sort it.

 

[mucksmuff]

Dark Wood looks great when clean but its a pig to keep clean and im a lazy git so it looks dirty most of the time

 

[Maud]

when the roof bellows get's caught in the scissors as it did this morning

Oh no! Did it get caught in a gust or just bad luck? I still find putting the roof down really rather worrying, even with the bungee on...

[GrannyJen]

It was very gusty. I was in and out of the vehicle inching the top down. I have a bungee. Just at a critical point a gust caught the bellows. I thought I had managed to catch it but when I arrived tonight I noticed two small nicks in the fabric. Only small, nothing that a bit of gaffer tape won't sort.

They say things go in threes

Shredded tyres, oil light and now bellows nicked ...

Oh well, lets hope the next 100 days go without incident

Hello Maud

I've been thinking about getting a Bungee these last few days do you think it has helped you in lowering the roof having just read Granny Jen's post.

Agreed, and many more besides

I'm glad to hear that the nicks are small and treatable!
